How Value-Based Care Benefits You

Consumers are demanding more from America’s health care system, and rightfully so.

Historically, the system has been organized around treating the sick and compensating physicians based solely on the number of services and procedures ordered — an arrangement frequently called fee-for-service.

Value-based care is shifting the health care system to a model that emphasizes the importance of keeping people healthy and rewards physicians for coordinating care, for providing the appropriate care for each patient’s situation and for actual health outcomes. Care providers’ compensation is now based in part on keeping a population healthy, not just on how many tests or services are ordered.

Care Delivery

Reactive care delivered in response to an injury or illness.
